Fire crews have tackled a blaze at a Dundee city centre bar just days after the remnants of a cannabis farm were found inside.
Emergency services were called to Lyrics Bar on St Andrew’s Lane at around 6pm on Tuesday.
The cause of the fire has not been confirmed and it is unclear whether it is linked to last week’s discovery.
Fire at former Lyrics Bar
A spokesperson for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said: “We received reports at 6pm or a fire at Lyrics Bar in St Andrew’s Lane in Dundee.
“We sent three fire appliances from Blackness Road and Macalpine Road along with a height appliance.
“We received the stop message at 9.14pm.”
Sugarhouse Wynd remained closed overnight following the blaze.
One eyewitness said: “I heard lots of sirens and they were heading to St Andrew’s Lane.
“I could smell smoke and also a strong smell of weed.
“I knew that was where a cannabis factory was discovered recently.
“It looked pretty bad going by the number of fire engines there. I just hope nobody has been hurt in the fire.
“Lots of streets around were closed off but a small crowd had also gathered to watch.”
Police were called to the former Lyrics and Mirage function suite just after 5pm last Wednesday after the cannabis find.
A probe into that discovery is continuing.
